Sports Mole previews Sunday's La Liga clash between Villarreal and Rayo Vallecano, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Villarreal 2-2 Rayo Vallecano

El Submarino Amarillo have only won one of their last five matches versus Vallecano, but they do not have any problems finding the back of the net against the Segunda Division winners from last season, averaging 2.8 goals per game in their previous six home fixtures against them in La Liga. Los Vallecanos have a lot of momentum and a desire to be right up there with the top teams in Spain, and even though they have struggled away from home, they have plenty of quality to put a couple past Villarreal, who are not feeling great about their form domestically at the moment.
